For Security Engineers:​

  1. Threat Detection:
    • A high frequency of access denial events could signal potential malicious activity or policy misconfigurations, which need to be addressed.
  2. Security Posture:
    • Ensures that IAM roles and permissions are correctly configured, reducing the chance of unauthorized access or privilege escalation.
  3. Regulatory Compliance:
    • Helps ensure access controls are in place and functioning correctly, supporting the organization’s compliance with relevant security standards.
